The decay of 3.62 hour Pb202m has been studied using high-resolution y-ray spectroscopy in an effort to elucidate its nuclear structure. Singles and y-y coincidence measurements were taken with the result that the previously ...

Data editing is the process of checking data for possible inaccuracies. This paper describes possible types of data edits, discusses the underlying theory . used in
generating a "complete set of edits" and the finding and ...

The use of passive spectroscopy to determine electron temperatures is well documented
and has the important benefit of being noninvasive. The use of line intensities in particular is
important because other spectrographic ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO PRESENT ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HELIUM DEWAR SYSTEM. AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND
SECTION PRESENTS THE READER WITH A FOUNDATION IN THE PROBLEMS OF
DEWAR SYSTEM DESIGN. THE ...

The idea of building an automatic interferometer :.
stemmed from a specific problem. During the generation
of complex optical surfaces there occurs a certain stage
in the process of fine grinding at which the use of ...

The purpose of this project was to build and fly a radio-controlled model airplane, which would be used to carry radio telemetering instruments. These instruments would measure temperature, pressure, and wind speed in the ...

The purpose of this project is to develop laboratory experiments for the Medical Physics (Physics 52) class of Kalamazoo College. Since this is a non-majors course, it is
desirable to find experiments which not only ...

Superconductors are electrical conductors that have the property of
carrying large amounts of current at very low temperatures (around 5-10K).
These materials must undergo an intensive heating process called sintering
that ...

The development of lasers which can be tuned over a wide range, typically 50-100nm, with the output wavelength confined to a narrow-band has made it possible to increase both the sensitivity and resolution of conventional ...

The present method gives results that are at least
acceptable. There are other methods that are better, chiefly:
variations on presentation of data, but these are restricted
in some way. The results from this method ...

We have measured the detection efficiencies of a CsI photodiode (Si02
windowed) and a microchannel plate detector (MCP) with an opaque CsI
photocathode at 1850 A. Also, a detection efficiency curve was measured
for a ...

This Senior Independent Project is a Physics Research Project carried out in the physics department at Wayne State University. This project is in the area of solid state physics, and deals. specifically with the behavior ...

Since its simultaneous discovery in 1945 by Felix
Bloch of Stanford and Edward Purcell of Harvard, nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) has become a research technique
of great importance, especially in the areas of
investigating ...

Previous to the writing of this paper,
Paul A. McIntosh, a 1964 Kalamazoo College graduate, examined diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves. More specifically, he derived the
equation for the wave1ength of sound in ...

High-frequency electrostatic transducers have recently found
many applications as transmitters and receivers of ultrasonic waves
in gases, in a frequency range extending to one megacycle. The
flat response over wide ...

This paper summarizes the development of an image analyzing and processing system which is designed to determinegparticle size and particle size distribution of materials that have been transported atmospherically and ...
